Donation Requests

At Whitebarrel, we take pride in our support of nonprofit organizations and schools both locally and across the country. Over the past 7 years, we have raised over $125,000 through our donations of over 700 gift certificates for our “VIP Cellar Tours” and our “Wine Club Member for the Day” to hundreds of deserving organizations.

We are always happy to provide your tax-exempt organization with silent auction items (you must be a 501C3 organization or equivalent). We also host benefits at the winery as well as host your tent for you to promote your organization.

Our other silent auction item is our “Wine Club Member for the day” certificate, which includes:
